Zeven Mergpijpjes
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: These pieces continue the surprises of their predecessor, Seven Chocolate Eclems. Lies Muller, who runs the wonderful Atelier voor Muziek en Ambacht in Utrecht, loved them, but sought something a little more fitting for students. So she commissioned these seven new expansion-contraction linear modulation pieces, and I named them after my favorite Dutch confection, the mergpijp -- painfully sweet concoctions of marzipan and cream in a light pastry; it translates as marrowbone!
